1000 Years of Good Prayers

Seeing this movie was a happy gamble. I was trying to kill time before meeting my husband and seeing a movie was just the ticket, if there was something playing starting when I arrived. Only one thing was - A Thousand Years of Good Prayers by Wayne Wang.

I figured my chances were considerably better than all the summer junk I'd missed by a few minutes, and was thankful my French is up to watching a movie with a Chinese soundtrack shown w French subtitles (I have memories of 2 foreign films I saw in my first year here when that was hard).

This movie was touching, sad, and felt very personal and intimate. A very good movie. It fit my mood very well, and fit the timing needs perfectly.
